A bittersweet groove about modern love through static. It’s playful, funky, and lonely all at once. A track that flirts with technology while quietly admitting it misses real touch. The chanty hook mirrors the frustration of trying to be heard.

LYRICS

“Can you hear me now? …No?”  

You talk in dots, I type in lines,  
We call it deep, it’s just online.  
Signal drops right when you smile,  
Guess love’s a service with a trial.  

I send my heart through autocorrect,  
Every text a failed connect.  
If you read me wrong, that’s fine 
Half my thoughts are out of line.  
 
We’re just a bad connection,  
Static in affection.  
Talk too loud, lose reception,  
Heart’s got poor direction.  
OH-OH-OH-OH!  
Can you hear me now?  
 
You screenshot truth then cut the scene,  
Post the pain, but crop the dream.  
I’d say “I’m fine,” but that’s a lie  
Emoji tears don’t really cry.  
 
You said forever, I heard “read.”  
Guess my hope’s stuck on 4G.  
We buffer love, then skip the part,  
Where we’d restart.  

We’re just a bad connection,  
Static in affection.  
Talk too loud, lose reception,  
Heart’s got poor direction.  
OH-OH-OH-OH!  
Can you hear me now?  

HEY! OH-OH-OH-OH! HEY! OH-OH-OH-OH!
Static hearts don’t fade apart!  
  
“I’m right here… just lagging.”  
 
We’re just a bad connection,  
Lost in misdirection.  
If this call drops, don’t redial 
I’ll see you in denial.

We’re just a bad connection,  
Lost in misdirection.  
If this call drops, don’t redial  
I’ll see you in denial.

BAD CONNECTION

LYRICS:

long hair and longer stride
  and your cut off painter pants
 chargin down the craggy mountains with our thrift store friends
 who you find so... so in love with the falling earth
 oh you wake in the middle of the falling night with summer playing coy
 in the attics of the city night
 we talked corso and the MC5
you could dance like
we were all ALL right
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
 one i met in the green mountain state
 i dropped out, and he moved away
 heard he got some land down south
 changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce
 only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
 oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
 only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
 stars are up now no place to go but everywhere... no place to go but everywhere
 and in the city the mayor said
 those who dance are all mislead
 so you packed your things and moved to the other coast
 said you gonna be like charlie rose
 only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
 oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
 only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
 stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
 only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
 oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
 only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch

Lyrics:
Aw we recognize, see it in your eyes
See it in your eyes, all the lies of the megaphone

We know who you are, we’re not very far
We’re not very far, we’re the cop and the criminal

Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There’s a lot of people saying that we’re grieving
About the track that we’re on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye

Oil in the sand, oil in the sand,
A gun in every hand and we die like the buffalo

Feel it in the dawn, feel it in the dawn,
Won't be very long, in the age of the methadone

Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There’s a lot of people saying that we’re grieving
About the track that we’re on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye

Is there anyone else?
Is there anyone else?

Who can read my mind ‘cause it’s no longer mine

LYRICS:

We try to understand
The right to life like fire to the arson  
You got it right at last, but then the world
Had a different plan and it took it all away 
 
Years and years you fought
To try to light your darkness with a reason
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child
To hold and help and start over again
 
And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up
And we love and we shove it aside
 
Years and years you fought   
To try to light your darkness with a reason  
Maybe a woman someday, maybe even a child  
To hold and help and start over again
 
And we run and we gun and we die young    
 And we curse and we crush and we hide  
And we fight and we fuck and we make up  
And we love and we shove it aside   
 
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I gotta lie down
Never seen a light like that myself
 
And we run and we gun and we die young
And we curse and we crush and we hide
And we fight and we fuck and we make up  
And we love and we shove it aside
 
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else
I’m going in and out, I got to lie down
Never seen a light like that myself  
 
Your eyes they shine, they shine from somewhere else

LYRICS:

Night after night with the sound and the light 
That comes from down below
The street sweepers clean St Augustine 
And tired they head for home

You can begin again 
Honey you can begin again

Holding it all with her hat and her shawl 
She sways in the hall above 
Combing the room for a piece of the moon 
She braces against the wall

Night after night with the sound and the light 
She sings and whispers please
Day after day he lies in the way
Of his life that was meant to be

You can begin again 
Honey you can begin again 
You can begin again 
Honey you can begin again

She breaks into his dreams 
And finds his colors on the floor 
Says don’t you disappear 
Stay awake my dear

You can begin again 
Honey you can begin again
You can begin again 
Honey you can begin again

LYRICS:

Aw it's dark outside
I’ve been trying to get a ride
(While) my body waits, my body waits

America warm my face
I've been trying to turn the page

Once i was a little boy, staring at my shoes
You came along and found me in the chicken coop

But time takes over, i can't say when
Time takes over, may we do it again

Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Take me down to main street with no clothes on with our bare feet on the

Painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind us
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot
And we can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart

Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Help me down the seawall let's find Marci
See if she got that

Invitation to the movie, the one where the kids break out of juvie
And then by their own admission they go and turn themselves all in
Just as they get there to the station,
The young one wheels and begs the pavement
For brother speed to make arrangements with the spirits of the night

Take me to the race track let's go bet on
Aw the one that no one expects to win and
Let's bet on the skinny horse he will surely try the hardest to come in first

I bet you for the winner they put on some kind of fancy dinner
Let’s be like those Philadelphia sisters
That have prayed straight for a hundred years
I have no expectation, just to be here in the present
And behold you for a second before it all goes away
